Track your Stolen Laptop with Prey

Losing a laptop or phone is terrible.  It interrupts your life and forces you to spend extra money to buy new electronics. Services for keeping track of laptops used to cost a ton of money every month. Track your Stolen Laptop with open source and free prey software.

It runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux and helps you track and find your laptop or smartphone if it ever gets stolen. Prey sends out timed reports with the general status of the computer, a list of running programs and active connections, fully-detailed network and Wifi information, a screenshot of the running desktop and — in case your laptop has an integrated webcam — a picture of the thief.

The thief needs to be able to boot your machine in order to load the software, so your best bet is to create a Guest account that has no password. Log into the Guest account and then install Prey.
